born to be like this


I told Ana and another girl who i can't really remember the name: "hold him!"

It was chaos. Boys and girls running, everybody laughing but me. They never held him. They were scared.

"Adrian, I like you". - I shouted from a small distance.

"ewwww. you are ugly. I don't like you", Adrian said to me. I didn't get offended. I didn't really care what he thought of me.

"ana!"

She looked at him worried he had said the wrong thing, and some of his friends now standing behind him suddenly were taking my side. They held Adrian by his arms. Adrian couldn't stop laughing. I knew he was enjoying it. He didn't really think I would have the balls to do it.

"I will never be your boyfriend. you are weird"

He was right. we were too different. I was the quiet type. the one people would pick on and spread rumours about. the one people would stop talking when passing by.

I approached him slowly. he wasn't that far. I saw his cheeks blushing. He was getting angry, shaking his head, trying to scape. I held him by the chin and kissed his left cheek.

He was wrong. I had the balls to do it.

I was 10 years old. He was 1 year older if I still can remember right. And I think that's how everything started. Rumours about me just got worse. I never really cared what they thought of me. and still don't care. And sometimes is not as random as it seems, I choose carefully who can keep me company.
